Bulletin Board

Should BR go down again, killing the comment section once and for all and eventually forcing FB on all of us... I set up a temporary basic HQ at GamerLaunch - actually a site for gaming clans / guilds. It's not all that pretty but it offers forums and chat, and most of all, it's free which makes it work for the time being.

If you want to stay in contact with some of the "prominent" (haha) people from the BR WWE Comment Section, come around. We might eventually find a permanent new common home too.

Hey there, if you got time I'm putting together a Bleacher Report Comments Section Wrestling Awards for a bit of fun. I’ve put together a selection of categories so people can choose their favourites and least favourites from this year of wrestling.

Would be great to see what your picks are (and any additional awards you wish to include). If enough people provide their answers, I'd like to tally them up and have an ultimate winner for each category to be announced later.

Keep picks to one, no more than two if you can't decide! Write your answers on my board so I can keep track, I've filled out my answers for each category to give you an idea.

BR Wrestling Awards 2016

The Macho Man Award (MVP of wrestling) - AJ Styles

The Sami Zayn award (NXT MVP) – Asuka

Non-WWE MVP – Io Shirai

Match of the year - Final Deletion

Best weekly wrestling show - The Cruiserweight Classic

Best babyface(s) – Mayu Iwatani (like the human-form of Bambi, impossible not to root for but also a phenomenal wrestler) / Becky Lynch (Great wrestling, great promos, great heart – everything a babyface should be)

Best heel(s) – Samoa Joe/Charlotte

The Arn Anderson award (Best in-ring) – AJ Styles/Io Shirai

Best talker – Samoa Joe

Most improved - Charlotte

Tag team of the year – The Revival

Feud of the year - Broken Matt Hardy vs. Brother Nero

Gimmick of the year – Broken Matt Hardy

The Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson circa 1999 award i.e. miracle worker of the year (turned creative garbage into gold) – Dean Ambrose. Not my favourite wrestler by any means but was given nothing but terrible stuff (like plants and a uninterested Brock Lesnar) and was able to get it over. Booked awfully but stayed afloat and with the crowd behind him (a lesser performer would have been dead in the water), and apparently had a huge part in the creative process around James Ellsworth. So big credit to the guy. Job well-done.

Best heel turn – Seth coming back from injury to a huge babyface pop only to remain heel

Phoenix rising award (coming back from booking oblivion) – Dean Ambrose. Booked to be the fall guy in the never-ending Roman push for so long, and then booed as champion. Thankfully the brand split saved him over time.

Best booking decision – Brand Split/ Hiring AJ Styles

Worst booking decision – The face turn of Rollins has been terrible, and incomplete.

Stalling for Triple H vs Rollins till Mania has been a huge mistake.

Biggest creative success – The Miz/Ziggler feud

Biggest creative disappointment – Continual push of Roman as the top guy of Raw/ his lack of heel turn

Favourite debut – Nakamura

Largest discrepancy between creative’s intentions and my interpretations – Rusev has always been a face in my eyes.

Best champ – Becky Lynch

Worst champ – Roman Reigns

Hero of the year – Daniel Bryan for that retirement speech and being a real voice for the fans as GM

Villain of the year – injuries

Most overrated this year – Bobby Roode.

Most underrated this year – Andrade "Cien" Almas.

Most underwhelming moment – Shield triple threat

Best 'I thought this would be terrible but was really great' match – The whole of the Cruiserweight Classic.

Best rookie year of an NXT alumni on the main roster – Alexa Bliss

Best mic work - The Miz and Ziggler during their feud.

Worst botch: Unfortunately, pretty much every Mick Foley promo.

WTF moment of the year: Paige’s self-implosion/ Shaq and Tatanka being in the Andre the Giant Battle Royale.

Most irritating moment: WWE 24 Women’s Evolution documentary or as it should be referred to ‘the continuing false narrative that the Bellas and Stephanie McMahon in anyway started a woman’s wrestling revolution in WWE’

Hahah, I am going to watch! I have seen the commercials and it looks like it might be better than TD. I really want to see the Nikki Bella storyline. Interested to see her work her way back from that injury. That is the main reason I'll watch.
